I heard this morning about sulfa thiazole showing up in a jar of honey randomly taken from a store shelf in Canada. The beekeeper says that he didn't use this drug on his bees. I don't know any details about concentration of the drug residue. I don't know if any more samples were taken from the apiary, identified by the beekeeper, to see if the hives are generally contaminated. Maybe someone from north of the border can shed some light on this. My question is , how could this drug get into the honey? What were the bees foraging on that they would then get the drug into their honey? Anybody know or have an idea? Assuming that the beekeeper didn't use the sulfa thiazole himself, as I have no reason or evidence that makes me think that he did.
